Google Claims Government Requests For User Information Have Increased Over 100% Since 2010

Google released an updated Transparency Report today, claiming government requests for user information have increased more than 100 percent since it began posting transparency reports in 2010.According to Google, this is the eighth update to its transparency report in the last three years. Google said the climb in requests is in part a result of an increase in the number of governments wanting information, “More governments have made requests than ever before. And these numbers only include the requests we’re allowed to publish.”
